Penn College offers a post-master’s certificate in nursing education which is designed for nurses that already possess a master’s degree in nursing, but not in nursing education. This 15-credit online option provides advanced practice nurses with the necessary tools to be successful in nursing education by completing courses specific to educational theory and teaching strategies, assessment and evaluation in nursing education, and curriculum development. This certificate culminates with two hands-on practicum courses, at a location of the student’s choosing. The first practicum is focused on didactic education and the second is focused on clinical and simulation-based learning.
